The Little Windmill That Couldn't (Fenner, NY)


Update on that collapsed Fenner, NY windmill (see previous entries): Looks like the experts still can't figure out why one windmill in the windmill farm simply toppled over. They now say there was no problem with either the materials or construction and the foundation was apparently sound. Even though the mystery remains so, officials are reactivating all wind turbines at the farm, having stopped them whilst investigating.
